šŸ’” The Answer

  • The STAR robot autonomously sutured living pig intestines with better consistency than humans.
  • Autonomous surgical systems rely on pre-operative imaging and real-time 3D tracking.
  • Most surgical robots are still teleoperated, requiring a human in the loop.
  • FDA approval for fully autonomous surgery remains a major regulatory challenge.
